Myasichev M-2 strategic bomber (Dropped early prototype of real life M-4 bomber)
Unfinished model (lacks a bit of cosmetics, otherwise finished) of unreleased early version of Myasichev strategic bomber. Unlike the real, this plane has underwing podded engines as it was planned on early development stage. In final plane, engines were moved to the wing roots, which doomed the plane - unlike B-52 it was impossible to swap turbojets for economical turbofans due to size restrictions of such engine placement (and Myasichev M-4 /3m soon was off frontline duty being a lot more fuel thirsty than turboprop Tu-95, most M-4 were converted to aerial refueling role and scrapped in early 1980s). Check the cool video about the real one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9tURZhAjBc
Overall - it is essentially a Russian b-52 counterpart, sharing its size (a quarter bigger than tu-95), bicycle landing gear and turbojets (though 4 big instead of 8 small) and essentially it obviously was developed after b-47 visually. The model is 1:1 scale, although slightly lighter than it was in reality at 207 tonnes MTOW
And don't forget to stare at the way the wings flex, got special camera for this)))
Working at the aimable rear turret now/
Stabilizer (pitch adjustment) is adjustable with trim slider.
Mechanics work with VTOL slider.
AG1 - Landing gear; (100% UP = Gear Up, 0%= Gear Down)
AG2 - Flaps; (0% = Flaps retracted, 100% DOWN = Flaps deployed)
AG4 - Bomb bay door (100% UP = closed, 0%= open)
AG7 - Sp0ilerons ( in reality the plane has no spoilerons unlike b-52 and thus had limited roll control due to aileron reversal on high speed and low altitude. Surprisingly, this happens in game too (applause to game physics) thus you can activate 7 for better roll control) ;
AG8 - Ground steering (sensitivity adjustment, when active - steers to the limit, when deactivated - steers 5 degrees, deactivate on takeoffs and landing, activate for ground maneuvers only)
Take off procedure - Trim slightly below 1/2 up, flaps 1/2 down, full thrust, don't pitch up, the plane will take off automatically at 200 mph (same procedure was used in real life)
Landing procedure - full flaps, trim 1/2 up, 75-80% thrust when with full flaps deployed. Be careful not to drop below 180 mph - the plane becomes really unstable on low speed and high pitch. Do not try to land from predefined positions (Bandit final approach and Wright airport final approach - it is very difficult due to plane inertia)
Probably wont work on mobile

@JordanPlayz101 more like b-52 sized, russian made b-47. But when it made its mayden flight, it already had engines moved to the fuselage, like my tu-104. Overall, it is very similiar to early b-52 technically, even had many similiar problems. Apart from engines near the fuselage (in real life m-4 planes), the only notable difference (and a deficiency) compared to b-52 is that m-4 lacked spoilerons for roll control, so it was not suitable for low level flights due to having roll limitations on low altitude and high speed - because of long flexible swept wings having ailerons reversal effect (though it was not as severe as on b-47 somehow)
So this Is like a B-52??
